Reviews

Amazon.co.uk Editorial Review

Though it’s the second DVD release from the original animated series, Transformers Original Series Volume 2 contains the popular three-part origin story, "More Than Meets the Eye". It tells the story of how this race of alien robots (the evil Decepticons and the heroic Autobots) left their war-torn home planet of Cybertron and arrived on Earth, as well as introducing some of the series’ most popular characters (including Optimus Prime and Megatron), "More Than Meets the Eye" is an essential introduction to the entire Transformers universe. The other three episodes collected here--"Roll For It", "Transport to Oblivion" and "Divide and Conquer"--are less essential to all but the most committed Transformers fan, with animation and a script that’s just not quite up to scratch. Still, as a nostalgia piece at the very least, Transformers Original Series Volume 2 is nothing less than entertaining. --Ted Kord

5.0 out of 5 stars More Great Episodes From A Great Series, 29 Mar 2002
Yes This Is What We Want!!! The first 6 episodes of The Transformers UNALTERED.
After the mess that was the "Generation 2" DVD it is good to see these episodes in their original form.

If you've already purchased "Volume 1" and "Generation 2" then this disc includes 3 episodes not already part of your collection - "Transport to Oblivion", "Roll For It" and "Divide and Conquer" as well as the original versions of "More Than Meets The Eye Parts 1-3"

I have one minor gripe which is not with this disc itself but rather the order that these 3 volumes (original series: volume 3 to be released later this year) put the episodes in.
The episode order now runs as follows:
08, 09, 10, 11, 12, 13, 01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 06, 07, 14, 15, 16

I don't supose this is really a major problem but if it does bother you, you may want to see if the upcoming boxset puts the episodes in the correct order.
But otherwise here you have another 6 great episodes of The Transformers which will not dissapoint.
Basically - Just Buy It!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great!!!, 30 Mar 2002
By A Customer
This is another brilliant release by Maverick and the cover art is really good (see picture). It turns out they are going to use a theme! The episodes include:
More Than Meets The Eye 1-3(Arival from Cybertron)
Transport To Oblivion
Roll For It
and Divide and Conquer
these last three were the episodes which came after the More Than Meets The Eye pilot and also were never released in the UK.

4.0 out of 5 stars Transformers is back-and it's much more than meets the eye!, 4 April 2002
This review is from: Transformers Original Series Volume 2 [VHS] (VHS Tape)
Transformers came out in 1984. If you go asking around people in their late twenties about transformers, 98% would probaly say, "Oh, I know that!"
Now, The Transformers has lasted 18 years and give fans even more, Maverick have re-released Transformers on video.

The problem is, Vol. 1 started in the middle of season 1-what's the point?
Now, Vol. 2 has started at the dawn of season 1, and spoils the neat and tidy concept. Otherwise, the videos are GREAT! Transformers: Special Collector's Edition Vol. 2 contains the episodes:
More Than Meets The Eye (Parts 1-3)
Transport To Oblivon
Roll For It

These will Keep you occupied for hours!
And even though The Transformers have evolved in 18 years (Beast Wars, Beast Machines, Robots in Disguise, Armada)
We all know, the only series that is really More Than Meets The Eye, is

The Transformers
